Preparing Defensive Gear with the Great Helm

Equipping the Helm

The Great Helm—also known historically as the heaume, pot helm, bucket helm, or barrel helm—is a staple piece of medieval crusader armor introduced in this mod. To equip it, open your player inventory and place the Great Helm into the helmet slot on your armor paperdoll. Its enclosing barrel design provides medieval-themed headgear protection for your character during heavy engagements.

Combat Considerations

Make the Great Helm a regular part of your kit whenever you take part in mounted charges or siege defense. High-speed cavalry charges with a lance frequently steer you directly into dangerous mobs, and managing siege machinery like the trebuchet leaves you exposed to counterattacks. Wearing the Great Helm ensures your head slot is defended while you focus on navigating mounts or aiming heavy block projectiles. Pair it with sturdy chest, leg, and foot armor to build a complete battle loadout before riding into combat.
